Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel

This refers back to when Saul tore Samuel's robe in 1 Samuel 15:27. This can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "Just as you tore my robe, Yahweh has torn the kingdom of Israel" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

has given it to a neighbor of yours, one who is better than you
